  1. LCP V12A brief review MBHT 2011

  2. LCP 12 Fully implemented in the Acute Trust, Coming soon in the Community! Any problems?

  3. Audit • National audit of all patients dying on the LCP in acute hospitals between April – June 2011 inclusive • Managed by Marie Curie Palliative Care Institute Liverpool and Royal College of Physicians • Data is collected locally then collated and published as “National Care of the Dying Audit” • Feeds into ongoing development of the LCP

  4. LCP QUIZ- test yourself! • Where is the LCP sited on the intranet and how many ‘clicks’ does it take to navigate to it from the home page? • Where are the symptom control algorithms sited? • What 4 drugs constitute the just-in-case/core drugs in your area? • The patient has needed 1 dose of sedation and 1 dose of antiemetic in 24h. Do they need a syringe driver starting? • What would be a suitable dose of sedation over 24h if required? • What would be a suitable dose of antiemetic over 24 hours if required? • What written information should be provided to the patient’s family when starting the LCP? • A patient’s IVI on the LCP ‘tissues’. What needs to happen next? • A patient on the LCP has laboured breathing. What may help relieve this symptom?

  5. QUIZ- answers! • To navigate to the LCP and symptom control algorithms: Home page>Clinical Services>Palliative care>End of Life Tools (left hand side of page)>Liverpool Care Pathway/Algorithms (4 clicks) • Morphine, midazolam, Cyclizine, Hyoscine hydrobromide (MBHT & Cumbria), Diamorphine, Midazolam, Levomepromazine, glycopyrronium (Lancaster Community) • No need for a graseby unless the patient has required 2/3 doses of sedation or antiemetic- just continue with prns • 10mg midazolam/24h, Cyclizine 150mg/24h, Levomepromazine 6.25-12.5mg/24h (this may be given stat as long acting) • Front sheet of LCP 12, additional LCP/Macmillan leaflets if available • Clinical decision on whether they need clinically assisted hydration • Morphine + or – midazolam. Oxygen therapy rarely helps- may be intrusive/uncomfortable, fan

  6. Remember! • Dr & nurse to complete initial assessment together • Give front information sheet to family • MDT review at least every 3 days • Don’t keep writing in the medical notes • No need for long narrative on MDT sheet • Don’t use the LCP as a means of stopping obs for patient Thank-you
